…. I figure if we deported everyone that doesn’t belong here back to their squalor

… did away with welfare for the undeserving

… went ahead and converted our refineries to process what we produce here by fracking

… it might be enough

… if not … there’s plenty in Venezuela

…. Then in the meantime build up force capable of conquering the entire Middle East … just in case that wasn’t enough

… I figure we’d give Canada a pass because they’re so nice lol

… time to get imperialistic in my opinion

1. whatever gets diesel fuel down would be good with me.
2. Old lady is from canada so stay friendly with them
3. Dont spend money blowing up anything youre gonna build back for them unless we take a stake in the proceeds
4. The ones making these decisions are doing so more for their bank accounts and that will be hard to change
5. No welfare. Hunger is a motivator

You do know the definition of insanity dont you?
Doing the same thing over and over again and failing every time.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

…. I could ride up there and single handedly take ya’lls oil sands

… I’ve worked up in Canadia before…. The men were softer than the women… so don’t push your luck

…. Yep …. That just happened

… obviously we’d have to get back to our roots …. It still exists in people … they’ve just been told they’re no better than the lowest common denominator

…. My kids are aggressive and successful…. Because I taught them to be … it was there in them …. They could have easily turned out weak and self loathing…. I just taught them different

… of course it would take a a little time to convert the masses boss

… but the potential is in a lot of them

…. Just time for a reset is all

Exactly!!,..witnessed so many times,..the average tax -payer seems so befuddled ,..we have over the years , blow them up and then build them up ,..all the while the tax-payer questions what are we doing here?

If we could get a definate finale soulution ,..albeit controversional ,..we could at least assume there is progress being made ?

… well that is just to make regimes in the Middle East cooperate with another regime in the Middle East

…. Wish we’d put that much effort here at home

…. A lot of cleaning up to do around here from what I see

During WW11 there were as many as 16 million in the military. As late as the early 1980s we had 4 million active and reserve. Today with active and reserve we have just slightly less then 2 million. The main reason the military spends a lot on research and tech is that it is a lot cheaper than having a huge number in the military. We would not be able to afford an additional million or so unless we want to accelerate our debt even faster, eliminate most of the rest of the budget or raise taxes. The last 26 years we have chosen the accelerate debt mode. I don't see that changing real soon.

The majority of that 16 million were in support roles. Cooks, mechanics, clerks, hospital personnel, truck drivers etc.

I thought we were talking imperialisms. An A bomb on London, Paris, Moscow, Beijing, Mexico City, Montreal, etc. and we would have been rulers of the entire world. An imperialist's dream.
Maybe y'all millennials define imperial different, like y'all do men and women....

We've got a lot of prisons and jails that could be "emptied" ? . . . they're tough guys, right?
